Unfortunately you haven't sent us a file named nualgol.y, so it won't
be easy for us to reproduce the problem.

This sounds like Bison wasn't installed correctly in your machine.
For example, if you installed Bison 2.0a by running the commands
"configure; make; make install" then you should be running the command
"/usr/local/bin/bison" and you should observe something like the
following behavior when you are running the shell:

   $ type bison
   bison is /usr/local/bin/bison
   $ find /usr/local/share/bison -name '*m4sugar*' -print
   /usr/local/share/bison/m4sugar
   /usr/local/share/bison/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4

If you get different behavior, then your Bison wasn't installed
correctly, and that is what you need to be looking at.

Please install into some other area, then.  For example:

   $ configure --prefix=/my/location
   $ make
   $ make install

This will install into /my/location/bin/bison, etc., rather than
/usr/local/bin/bison.  You can then repair things later by removing
/my/location.

I cannot reproduce the problem with the code that you submitted.  Can
you please resubmit exactly what you have now, using a gzipped tar
file as before?  Apparently you've made some changes.  Here's my
attempt to reproduce it:

   bash-2.05a$ bison -v -d algol.y
   bash-2.05a$ mv algol.tab.h algol.h
   bash-2.05a$ flex algol.l
   bash-2.05a$ make
   gcc -g -c lex.yy.c
   algol.l: In function 'yylex':
   algol.l:47: error: 'LONG' undeclared (first use in this function)
   algol.l:47: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
   algol.l:47: error: for each function it appears in.)
   algol.l:80: error: 'MOD' undeclared (first use in this function)
   algol.l: In function 'init':
   algol.l:150: error: invalid lvalue in assignment
   algol.l:153: error: invalid lvalue in assignment
   algol.l: In function 'symbol':
   algol.l:171: error: invalid lvalue in assignment
   algol.l:175: error: invalid lvalue in assignment
   algol.l:185: error: invalid lvalue in assignment
   algol.l: In function 'main':
   algol.l:220: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 
'strcpy'
   make: *** [lex.yy.o] Error 1
